The Hidden and Sketchy visual styles automatically change the color of solid hatches to the background color, effectively making them invisible. To make the original color visible for these visual styles, set VSFACESTYLE to 1 or 2.

Note: Existing visual styles are not changed when you enter a new value for this system variable. Any new value entered for this system variable temporarily creates an unsaved new visual style.
